                                   and where did it happen? What was off-limits and why? Did you

                                    an American tragedy

                                    From an acclaimed British author, a sharply focused,
                                    riveting account — told from inside the White House — of
                                    the crucial days, hours, and moments when the Watergate
                                    conspiracy consumed, and ultimately toppled, a president.

                                    In January 1973, Richard Nixon had just been inaugurated after
                                    winning re-election in a historic landslide. But by April 1973 his
                                    presidency had fallen apart as the Watergate scandal metastasised
                                    into what White House counsel John Dean called a full-blown
                                    cancer. King Richard is the intimate, utterly absorbing narrative
                                    of the tension-packed hundred days when the Watergate burglars
                                    and their handlers in the administration turned on one another,
                                    revealing their direct connection to the White House.
                                        Drawing on thousands of hours of newly released taped

                                        From award-winning writer and critic Alison Croggon, Monsters
                                        takes as its point of departure the painful breakdown of a
                                        relationship between two sisters. It explores how our attitudes
                                        are shaped by the persisting myths that underpin colonialism
                                        and patriarchy, how the structures we are raised within splinter
                                        and distort the possibilities of our lives. Monsters asks how we

Claire Dunn                         Rewilding the Urban Soul
                                    searching for the wild in the city

                                    heart of the city?

                                    Once upon a time, a burnt-out Claire Dunn spent a year living
                                    off the grid in a wilderness survival program. Yet love and the
                                    possibilities of human connection drew her back to the city,
                                    where she soon found herself as overscheduled, addicted to her
                                    phone, and lost in IKEA as the rest of us. Given all the city offers
                                    — comfort, convenience, community, and opportunity — she
                                    wants to stay. But to do so, she’ll have to learn how to rewild her

                                    an intensive-care doctor’s notes on healing

                                    An intensive-care doctor reveals the long-term problems
                                    caused by ICUs and how these can be prevented.

                                    Thousands of people are admitted to intensive-care units
                                    (ICUs) every day, and this is only increasing with the Covid-19
                                    pandemic. Most of these admissions will be sudden, unexpected,
                                    and harrowing — an experience that can alter patients and their
                                    families in physical, emotional, and spiritual ways, with effects
                                    that endure for years. But there is hope.
                                         Dr Ely is a leading ICU doctor. His unconventional methods
                                    minimise patients being harmed by the cutting-edge technologies

                                       For readers of Entangled Life and The Hidden Life of Trees,
                                       a fascinating journey into the world of plants and animals,
                                       and the ways they communicate with each other.

                                       In forests, fields, and even gardens, there is a constant exchange
                                       of information going on. Animals and plants must communicate
                                       with one another to survive, but they also tell lies, set traps,
                                       talk to themselves, and speak to each other in a variety of
                                       unexpected ways.
                                            Here, behavioural biologist Madlen Ziege reveals the
                                       fascinating world of nonhuman communication. In charming,
                                       humorous, and accessible prose, she shows how nature’s language

                                      Pauline is the captivating newcomer on a sleepy Pacific island,

                                          So begins a thorny investigation, wherein every man on the

                                     the strange persistence of monarchies

                                     An avowed republican investigates the unexpected durability
                                     and potential benefits of constitutional monarchies.

                                     When he was deposed in Egypt in 1952, King Farouk predicted
                                     that there would be five monarchs left at the end of the century:
                                     the kings of hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades, and of England. To
                                     date, his prediction has proved wrong, and while the twentieth

                                     democratic societies have remained monarchies.

                                     monarchies globally, and is particularly relevant given the pro-

                            Miwako Sumida is dead, and those closest to her must try to piece
                            together the fragments of her life. Ryusei, who always loved Miwako,

                            to reveal it? Meanwhile, Fumi, Ryusei’s sister, has her own haunting
                            secret. Together, they realise that the young woman they thought
                            they knew had more going on behind her seemingly perfect façade
                            than they could ever have dreamed.
